Im baaaaaack!

[EllieH]

No, I’m not confident on the roads yet and trying to book in with my driving instructor is a nightmare!

It’s just one thing after another with this house!! And that doesn’t help with putting DH in a good mood for ttc earlier never mind, it is what it is.

Got my follow up appointment at the breast clinic on Tuesday and that boob (still looks the same) is so tender, got me a little worried, probably all over nothing though!

Been gutting my house this evening, feels great. Just need a skip! Ha

 

[BabyMaker]

Oh no, sorry to hear your boob is still giving you grief. Good luck tomorrow! Let us know what they say

 

[Princess81]

I hope your appointment goes well Ellie xx keep us posted Hun.

I don’t mind talking about work really. I mean I don’t like being asked questions on a professional capacity if I’m not someone’s midwife, but everyone I meet likes to tell me their birth story - I do find it genuinely interesting.

Awww 7 years ago today I got my BFP with my little sunshine ☀️
Very pre-menstrual at the mo.... so imagine my April witch will take flight, then just 2 more to go!

 

[EllieH]

Ooo getting close, are you looking forward to the big day? Much more to plan/sort?

DH has 100% agreed on August start ttc, maybe July, I am one happy lady �� I said to him that I know it feel like I’m pressuring you into it but you do want to have another child and I would have loved to have had one this year (ie try as soon as we moved into this house) so I’ve already been waiting a year to start ttc and looked surprised and said ‘oh’ but it was obvious that it had sunk in that I had compromised and had put it off without nagging for so long haha

Boob check up was fine so discharged! Yay!

Loved the weather today, looking forward to tomorrow too

 

[BabyMaker]

Oooh Ellie that's great news re DH!! At this rate I might be joining you in Aug instead of July (still working on it lol ).
And great news re the boob. You deserved a bit of good news finally

 

[Donna88]

That's fantastic news Ellie on both fronts

 

[EllieH]

Thank you, hope everyone is well x

 

[Donna88]

I'm good thank you

Been so busy with uni and properly trying this month, I'm ovulating later again this cycle, but hopefully should be in with a good chance.

Hope the rest of you are all well.

 

[Princess81]

Ellie that’s fantastic news so happy for you that it’s all clear
Still a fair bit to do for the wedding.....but we will get there!

We will very possibly be August too for the first cycle - all in the same boat xx

 

[EllieH]

Donna you must be so excited, I can’t wait to start ttc again! Getting that bfp is the one of the best thing ever!!!

And princess you must be excited for your big day, nothing like getting married either, one of the best days of my life, my wedding day, just a nice day about you and your partner and everyone is well behaved, lots of lovely photos, lovely booze, lovely food! Love to do that day again

 

[Donna88]

It's so exciting yes, hoping the two week wait doesn't drag too much though

 

[BabyMaker]

Donna, I'm still stalking you on the ttc board How are you filling your tww?
It must be so nice to dtd without any protection. I remember when we stopped using protection when ttc both kids and both times DH had a bit "stage fright" to start with He soon got into it though (excuse the pun...)
x

 

[Donna88]

I've ovulated late so the tww hasn't even started yet. I think it's going to drag. Although next weekend we have lots of plans so hopefully that will keep my mind off the wait.

Yeah my husband is into the swing of it now; maybe it's a good job I ovulated late haha as it gave us a week of practice

 

[BabyMaker]

Lol, bless him. Glad you've got stuff planned to take your mind off the wait.
I've changed my ticker to August instead of July. If we end up ttc in July then that'll be a bonus. But for now, I'll count down to August x

 

[Princess81]

Ah Donna this is exciting! At least we can 2ww through you until we are all ready lol! X

 

[Donna88]

Haha yeah - I just hope I don't drive you all mad. Officially in the wait now though, I'm torn there is part of me that thinks we probably missed out chance as the last time we dtd was a few days before I ovulated and the other part of me seems already convinced that I am. I know it's too early for symptoms but can't help but spot the slightest little thing. Ridiculous.

Hope you are all okay xx

 

[EllieH]

Oh Donna! It’s all so crazy, 2 tiny weeks that seem like forever and googling every twinge. It’s only your first month ttc, but it’s hard not to lose yourself in it all! Fx for you. Are you testing on the 12th still? X

 

[Donna88]

Yeah if AF doesn't arrive before then, although I think I will be due either on the 11th or the 12th so knowing my luck I will test and then she'll arrive straight after haha - although I don't think I could hold off any longer than that. We've got some cheap home bargains tests in so it's not like we're wasting money and they have good reviews.


It's crazy isn't it how two weeks can seem such a long time when you're waiting - but it's nothing really. I'm trying to ignore any symptoms to be honest. With my son the first thing I noticed was my nipples - there was no mistaking it either they were more sensitive than ever before so unless I get that again I'll try not to get overly excited about anything.

 

[Donna88]

My diet has been going awful this week :/ I don't think I've had a single good day.

I was hoping to be back at my target for my 30th and I'm still about a stone off and my birthday is in 3 weeks oh well; as long as I don't gain loads now I think I'll be happy for a while
